yeah, but if your running faster than 11.5 you gotta slow it down, or else tehy kick you out if you run 3 or more times without a cage.Quote:

Off the top of my head, there are plenty more that apply sub-10.99, like transmission shield, SFI spec damper, etc. My car has a 10pt. cage in it, which is more than enough for what it runs.
I would like to know what the 60' times and 1/4 MPH look like with your brother's car, out of curiosity. I wouldn't doubt that his LS1 is putting out nearly as much power as my motor given the weight, gearing and suspension tuning differences, and timeslips will tell the tale. Truth be told, my motor is pretty mild so I don't have to do too much maintenance...
Tom
i'll see if i can get more info on his times tomorrow,
he's got a .598 lift cam, full exhaust, full intake minus manifold, and 4.10 gears, on that he makes like 400-410whp, then he now has a 125 shot direct port of nos, and i think he said he makes close to 570
What did they do to it? I thought the bread wagon version from the UK was different, that looks so unfamiliar. Bring on the new type-r!Quote:

Got any more pics? That one looks stretched.
yeah, definantly not a male type of car, i mean, what kind of man would want such a slow pos?(btw im not being sarcastic)
Its not meant for drag racing. Its a pretty car and destined to be a classic. Its a bit underpowered, yes. Perhaps compared to your 1998 Mustang with 2001 Motor, or whatever your car has. You telling me that its slow compared to a typical car? 400 hp and 4.6 seconds to 60 completely unmodified is very slow? I'm sure a Ford Mustang puts out way more than 400 hp when modified but please compare apples to apples. Maybe it doesn't fit your macho image, but its still a nice car, is it not? I take it that you don't like European cars? Well, European cars are all I have.
wait, thats not a modena 360? lol, thought it was a modena. the porche is definantly nice, i just hate ferraris, i just dont think they are worth the money.
Beautifull !!!!!!!!!Quote:

Yes, it is, and at least it can corner, which is way more than I can say for most cars here, if you get my hint.Quote:

The 360 Modena is slow maybe by drag standards, which in my humble opinion is not ay measure of a car, no offense to anyone. Take any of your cars and try a round on Modena circuit(or any other circuit for that matter), tell me which is slow then.
PS. Nope, Ferraris are not worth the money, but then again no exotic is.
Yeah, I love my M3, but I'm really getting the itch for this one too.
Interesting car indeed, but maybe it would be better to scratch that itch. A service visit with the M3 is one thing, finding a service to do anything to the Dahler is in another league :)
It is actually a Wiesmann, Daehler is the local dealer.

The roadster:
but iany said it had 400hp.... which, if that is what ferrari says, it's way over rated, as my car with a 75 shot can put 3 cars on one, and that would only be like 340whp max.Quote:

i drive my car out and race 2 or 3 nights a week, and i drive on the freeways almost daily, so qt mile time is important, not so much lateral gs, not yet anyways.
Just purchased this 2000 Toyota MR2

I plan on shaving the badges, a little audio and basic bolt ons.
I already have a 93 Del Sol w/ a B18 (jdm tranny lds) swap.
The discussion is meaningless, however, when one says a car is a slow pos I somehow doubt he means highway driving.
Not to mention, HP ratings and 0-100km/h times are not so important on tracks, believe me. There are 200HP cars that beat "american muscles" with twice the HP on track, so I somehow doubt a Ferrari F360 can be called slow pos by these standards.

and 200hp hondas only beat them around the circuit track, in the drag or on the street they cant touch them, and with 2 grand in modifications, the muscle car will reign on track too.
and when a ferrari with "400" hp, gets beat around the track by a 300hp mustang, then it's funny in my opinion, and especially when the guy in teh mustang spend a total of 15k or less, that is what makes the ferrari a slow pos.
or when a 70k dollar corvette just thrashes it.
